Kochi: Third standard student Ruksana and LKG student Muhammad Jafar were watching a cartoon on the mobile phone. Sowmya Beevi, mother of the duo, was found with tearful eyes. 

“Could you please tell me what is the crime committed by my husband,” the woman asked the NIA team.

Soumya is wife of Mosaraf Hossan who was arrested by NIA for alleged links with Al-Qaeda terror group.

NIA team rushed to her house around 2 am. Soumya kept on asking the officials why her husband was arrested. “He had never come into any conflict with anyone,” she added.

Soumya Beevi and her children were in deep sleep when NIA team reached their house at Vanchinadu junction in Perumbavoor. When her husband Mosaraf opened the door, the NIA and police officials in mufti nabbed him. They demanded him to take his laptop. Though he replied to them that he doesn’t have a laptop, they continued to search for it inside the house. The officials seized Mosaraf’s mobile phone and examined his wife’s phone too.

Holding the hands of two women officials in the team, Soumya broke into tears.

The team of officials consoled her and continued to tell, ‘Don’t worry, no need for tension, no problem’.
For Soumya, her husband is just a salesman at a textiles shop in Perumbavoor.

Mosaraf, a native of West Bengal, got married to Odisha native Soumya 10 years ago. He was a salesman at a popular firm in Odisha when they entered wedlock.

Earlier, he worked in a textile shop in Perumbavoor and moved to Odisha. He moved to Perumbavoor along with Soumya after marriage and joined in the same textile shop. Soumya expressed hope that the officials will release her husband.
